ringflash adaptor for Canon 580EX
and Nikon SB800

This unique product was developed by a professional photographer
from the Czech Republic. It uses a clever system of internal prisms
and reflectors to distribute the light emitted from the flash
unit evenly around the large diameter of the ringflash adapter.
The ringflash adapter creates a very special lighting effect:
a "3-d shadow-wrapped look". Because all light originates
from the front, ie from around the lens, it produces a virtually
shadowless look on the front of your subject, while a soft even
shadow appears around the edges. It is ideally suited for fashion,
portrait and beauty images as a main light or fill-in.

Due to it's large inner diameter (143mm), the ringflash adapter
will accept almost all lenses from small, medium and large format
cameras.
Exposure control is easy: using either Canon or Nikon cameras
(or their derivatives) all TTL functions are operational as
usual, as well as manual mode. It is of course possible to use
the Canon 580EX and the Nikon SB800 in manual mode with other
camera brands by using a simple hot-shoe adapter, which provides
a standard synchronisation lead, and improvising a suitable
way of mounting the flash to the camera.

equipment users.
